Personally, I think most of the persuasive related research is not done through public research (universities, public funding) but more through corporate or military (?) research. I can even imagine that there is obtained knowledge being used to help persuade the public for political gain. Which the wider public or public universities aren't being shared and is oblivious to the public and the wider science community.
Guess, it sounds bit like a tin hats theory but I can imagine the above is the happening at the moment.

All of it builds off of stuff we’ve seen from the days of eternal September. Generalist subs/topics collect junk. Directed subs have more focus and are healthier in defending crap.
